We mentioned last week having casually
learned that it was the inteRiion OF the rail
road company to run Sunday train over our
line Of the road after April 18th. ln conversa-
ton this week with S. Cox, Jr., one Of the
directors of the road, We inquired as to the
truth Of the rumor and he fully corroborated
it, saying that perhaps the train would be put
on even before the date mentioned and csrtaialy
when the next change of the schedule for the
Pope's Greek line was made. Mr.. Cox also
stated that he thoug hi i, probable that he train
which would leave here in the morning and re-
turn again at night, would be run at n later
hour in the morning, getting into Baltimore
about 10 s'clock, A. NJ, instead Of at nine as
is the case with the present weekly train.
This change will be 4 source Of much conven-
ience to our people, enabling those who can
not 6nd time to transact all necessary business
in the time now allo ed them ia Baltimore or
Washington to remain over Saturday night say,
and return home on SUNDAY, and in various
others why's. 1t shows too Il laud2ble desire on
the part of the railroad authorities 10 accom-
modste the people in the section Of country
through which the train runs, and is but \
Pursuance of the wise policy of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in this direction. Our people
will undoubtedly appreciate the Efforts of tie
railroad company to accommodate them.
